WILMINGTON | A memorial service for Robert West will be 2 p.m. Saturday, June 22, at the Cameron Museum of Art, 3201 South 17th St. It will be followed by a celebration that he planned at 602 S. Fifth Ave, his home and headquarters of Working Films.

West was co-founder of the Wilmington-based nonprofit Working Films, which uses documentary films as instruments of social change by connecting filmmakers with people motivated to work on the issues.
